This fascinating book explores the numerous literary connections, themes, symbolism, and cultural and social references underlying The Silver Chair and The Horse and His Boy, the fourth and fifth books in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series, following the same format of Paths in the Snow and Gold on the Horizon, Jem Bloomfield's popular explorations of the first three Narnia tales (both published under the DLT imprint). In Signs Among the Stones, Bloomfield considers the significance of the very different landscapes of The Silver Chair and The Horse and His Boy - subterranean caves and arid deserts, both a world away from the more familiar forests and castles of other Narnia tales - and explores what the books can tell us about Lewis's ideas on meaning, questing and storytelling.
